私たちのビデオプロトコール がJoVEにて公開されました。 この実験は、私たちが2017年にSmallにて発表した論文 に基づいています。 このビデオを参考に、ぜひ私たちの実験をやってみてください！ ABSTRACT Cellular microenvironments consist of a variety of cues, such as growth factors, extracellular matrices, and intercellular interactions. These cues are well orchestrated and are crucial in regulating cell functions in a living system. Although a number of researchers have attempted to investigate the correlation between environmental Read more…
